Buy me a 12-pack of solid platinum bars, and then we have a deal!

 

It was a bad ignition switch, and everything's working great now. There's a little metal coil in the ignition switch, and over time it cracked the plastic next to it. Oh well, that's one more part that won't break on me anytime soon. <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" /> It's amazing how much you learn about the way things work just by pulling them apart.

A word of advice to anyone who has to do this: when you go to put the ignition assembly back on the steering shaft, make sure you have a key in the ignition disengaging the wheel lock. I tried getting the damn thing on for an hour! Doh! <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />

 

good stuff...and less than $10 in parts

but you should have bought 2 because you'll have to change it again in 20 years ;-)
